Having signed with the Chargers in May 2022, Kyle Van Noy started 13 of 17 games that season, also posting 46 tackles, five sacks and one forced fumble.
However, in 2023, he made a move to Baltimore, recording a career-high nine sacks in 14 games. His role grew even larger last season. The Ravens locked him in with a two-year, $10M extension in early April, but in Week 1 against the Chiefs, he suffered an orbital bone fracture that temporarily sidelined him.
He later noted the delay in getting medical attention from the Chiefs’ staff, though he didn’t miss time. Once back, he posted back-to-back multi-sack games, also earning AFC Defensive Player of the Month honors for September. Van Noy closed the season with a new career-high 12.

The play marked his second consecutive year leading Baltimore in sacks. An additional 2.5 sacks in the season finale would’ve triggered another $250K bonus, with the total potential payout reaching $500K.
In Feb., Van Noy joined NBC Sports Boston’s “Patriots Talk Podcast” alongside teammate Kyle Hamilton to preview the Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl rematch. He picked Philadelphia, citing the team’s offensive depth, saying the Eagles matched up better defensively against Patrick Mahomes than the Chiefs could against Saquon Barkley and the Eagles’ receiving core.
Hamilton favored Kansas City, pointing to Mahomes’ track record in high-pressure moments. Heena singh Heena Singh is an NFL writer at Sportskeeda with over four years of experience in the field, most recently with Essentially Sports. Prior to that, Heena worked with 73buzz.
